Review of G10 Powershot
The PowerShot G10 uses a 14.7 megapixels high definition CCD sensor. Although it’s simplistic to say that more pixels equals a better picture, it certainly doesn’t hurt and it offers you a lot more cropping possibility.
Unlike, say the Canon A590IS model, which is geared to amateurs, the Powershot G10 is very much a prosumer model. The list of features alone make that clear.
Featuring a wide angle lens of 28 m.m. and couples that with a 5x zoom. Optical Image Stabilisation helps you to keep the image sharp even when using the long end of the zoom – important if you can’t hand-hold a camera as steadily as before. The benefit of the image stabliser is that more of your shots will come out sharp.
The lcd monitor is a 3.0-inch Pure Color LCD II screen. That makes it much easier to line up your shots – there’ll be no squinting to see what’s on the screen. If you’ve never used a large LCD monitor digital camera before then you’ll be astonished at just how much easier it makes life. The Canon Powershot offers a really beautiful display.
The famed Canon Digic 4 processor has been added. The DIGIC 4 offers faster operation and enhanced image quality – something that everyone will make use of.
Don’t forget that a camera is going to need some food and a camera that has extremely high resolution is going to need a lot of memory card to store its images. That’s where cards like the sandisk 8gb sdhc secure digital card or the transcend 8gb sdhc card are so useful. An 8gb card will store a useful number of hi-res images and allow you to keep shooting for longer.
The Powershot G10 is truly a stunning example of engineering and design.
You can safely say that it will be a more practical alternative to an SLR. It’s certainly not the smallest digital ‘compact’ on the market, it’s probably one of the best specified and well designed cameras available today.
